Commentary: The Bible speaks volumes about those whom exhibit unrepentant anger and deep-rooted bitterness. Tis not uncommon for the Christian to become angry. God’s Word makes it very clear that there are times when anger is justified? However, anger is not an excuse to sin. The byproduct of sinful anger is a bitter heart – a condition that stifles the Holy Spirit’s healing along with creating a legalistic attitude toward others? Dr. David Hocking lays out in detail, the “why” and “how” anger and bitterness occurs and why the Bride of Christ needs to repent of its propensity toward “shooting its wounded.”

“Be careful that no one falls short of the grace of God, so that no root of bitterness will spring up to cause trouble and defile many.” ~ Hebrews 12:15
